    • Differentiation of vascular stem cells contributes to ectopic calcification of atherosclerotic plaque 

      Leszczynska, Aleksandra; O'Doherty, Aideen; Farrell, Eric; Pindjakova, Jana; O'Brien, Fergal J.; O'Brien, Timothy; Barry, Frank; Murphy, Mary (Wiley, 2016-02-27)
      The cellular and molecular basis of vascular calcification (VC) in atherosclerosis is not fully understood. Here, we investigate role of resident/circulating progenitor cells in VC and contribution of inflammatory plaque ...

    • Evaluation of cartilage repair by mesenchymal stem cells seeded on a PEOT/PBT scaffold in an osteochondral defect 

      Barron, Valerie; Merghani, Khalid; Shaw, Georgina; Coleman, Cynthia; Hayes, Jessica; Ansboro, Sharon; Manian, Abi; O'Malley, Grace; Connolly, Emma; Nandakumar, Ananda; Van Blitterswijk, Clemen; Habibovic, Pamela; Moroni, Lorenzo; Shannon, Fintan; Barry, Frank; Murphy, Mary (Springer Verlag, 2015-01-15)
      The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-seeded polyethylene-oxide-terephthalate/polybutylene-terephthalate (PEOT/PBT) scaffold for cartilage tissue repair in an ...

    • Evaluation of the early in vivo response of a functionally graded macroporous scaffold in an osteochondral defect in a rabbit model 

      Barron, Valerie; Neary, Martin; Mohamed, Khalid Merghani Salid; Ansboro, Sharon; Shaw, Georgina; O'Malley, Grace; Rooney, Niall; Barry, Frank; Murphy, Mary (Springer Verlag, 2015-10-05)
      Cartilage tissue engineering is a multifactorial problem requiring a wide range of material property requirements from provision of biological cues to facilitation of mechanical support in load-bearing diarthrodial joints. ...

    • Immunogenicity of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells 

      Ritter, Thomas (2012)
      Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) inhibit proliferation of allogeneic T cells and express low levels of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI), MHCII and vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). We investigated whether ...
